5 Essential YA Novels From Canadian Indigenous Authors

Hi, everyone. Mahsi cho for giving me the opportunity to share five of my favorite Young Adult books published by Indigenous authors here in Canada. What distinguishes works by Indigenous authors in their writing is simple: we are living in a time right now where members of many Indigenous communities are starting to publish their poetry, novels, short stories, illustrated works and plays, etc. for the very first time in English and in their own…See the Story

Smoke and Mirrors and Matchstick Men

Matchstick Men, Ridley Scott’s 2003 caper, is a film about a lot of things: small cons, big cons, guilt, anxiety, mental illness, family, redemption, and healing. But not in the ways you might expect. Matchstick Men will trick you. It leads you to think that “con” stands for “confidence.” But actually, it’s “conscience.” It’s the story of Roy (Nicolas Cage), con artist with a chainsmoking habit, an extremely intense obsessive compulsive disorder…Read Article

Lucas Schaefer Talks Texas, Boxing, and How To Use Crime Fiction to Explore Identity

Quick, picture a Texan. What did you think of? A hippie? A tech bro? A guy in a truck with a ten gallon hat? Lucas Schaefer’s new Austin-set epic, The Slip, is here to challenge those stereotypes, with an engrossing new vision of Texana for the twenty-first century.                             When troubled teenager Nathanial Rothstein comes to Austin from Connecticut to stay with his professor Uncle Bob for the summer, he gets a job at a home f…Boxing · AustinRead Article

Reading Chester Himes: Who Is the Real Star of His Show?

The best-known novels by Chester Himes are called “the Harlem Detectives” stories, which would seem to indicate that a couple of New York police officers are the stars of the series.  Far from it. After reading six of Himes’ novels, I think that the main character in these books actually is the Harlem of post-World War II New York City. Himes calls it “Harlem, USA.” It appears on nearly every page, teaching us about its people, its places, its w…New York State · New YorkRead Article

Megan Abbott on Criminal Conspiracies in the Fallen Suburbs

In Megan Abbott’s suburbia, there are always darker forces at play. In her new novel, El Dorado Drive (G.P. Putnam, June 24, 2025), a feeling of loss and decline permeates the once prosperous community of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, the author’s own hometown. The auto industry has lost its sheen. The country clubs are hotbeds of anxiety, stirring up questions about who lost a job this month, whose bills are past due. A group of women in the communi…Grosse Pointe · Grosse PointeRead Article

Rory Power: In Defense of Murderous Main Characters

N.B. (1): For our purposes here today I will use “crime fiction” as a catch-all term for thrillers, mysteries, and variations thereof. N.B. (2): References below to assorted crime fiction tropes are made with great fondness and appreciation. N.B. (3): If you or a person of your acquaintance worked in the costume department for the television adaptation of Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars, please be in touch with me immediately regarding the ha…Read Article

Small Town Gothic: 11 Story Collections Set in Fictional Locales

My debut collection, Bodock: Stories, which mostly takes place in the eponymous town during the 1994 Mid-South Ice Storm, is heavily influenced by two Mississippi literary traditions: fictitious locales and a Southern Gothic aesthetic. This was probably inescapable: I grew up in north Mississippi, where the rolling, red clay hills inundate across the landscape like a Junior Kimbrough chord progression and can carry you forty minutes west down th…Arkansas · ArkansasRead Article

James Lee Burke on the Highs and Lows of American History

James Lee Burke is one of the most prolific authors in the United States. Averaging a book a year throughout his sixty-years in literature, he is also one of the most profound, riveting, and stylistically beautiful. His new novel, Don’t Forget Me, Little Bessie, acts as both a companion to his other work, exploring violence and the quest for justice through the lens of a courageous protagonist. It is also a departure, demonstrating that Burke is…New York, Texas · New YorkRead Article

The High Cost of Silence: My Secret Life as a Whistleblower

For nearly ten years I was silenced. I was known only as Jane Doe, working in pharmaceutical sales undercover as whistleblower for the Department of Justice. It was a high-stakes tightrope I was walking, but no one in my life could know about it – not even my own family. On the outside, I kept up a good front. But inside, my heart felt like lead box: nothing could penetrate it, and nothing could escape. I suffered in silence, existing in surviva…Whistleblower · Los AngelesRead Article

Searching for the Elusive Stephanie St. Clair, New York’s “Madame Queen”
